[ the feed flicks on. asami's trying her best to appear as composed as she possibly can. ] ...It's good to be back home again.

[ she pauses for a bit. it's unsettling how she's gotten used to referring to her room here as 'home.' ] I hope everyone else has gotten back safely, too.

I mean to ask for help, though. I lost contact with a lot of my friends in the past few days. At first I thought my bracelet might be faulty, because it didn't seem like I could reach anyone for a while. I see now that a lot of people have been accounted for, thankfully.

Has anyone heard from Mako, though? Or Bolin?

((OOC: backdated to the evening of day 133. i believe that korra left before the event started, so asami's aware that she left ;-;))

Asami... [How do you even break this kind of news gently?] I don't think Mako's here anymore.

[mobilize]

[ give her a second to process that, rise :( ]

What? How do you know?

video.

[multifacets]

Did anyone tell you about the list? I checked because he didn't show up for work and...he's not on there anymore.

video.

[mobilize]

Wait, what list?!

Do you mean the contact list? [ and as she speaks, she's pulling up the contact list now, just in case this is the list rise is referring to. ]

I've never heard of either of them but I can't say I've seen them around either.

[ her expression darkens. ] ...I was afraid someone would say that.

If you do see Bolin in person, at least, could you let him know that I've been trying to reach him? I'll try to describe him for you, if you'd like.

[ still trying to hold out hope that at least one of her friends from home is still here, since it's been confirmed that mako isn't here anymore. ;-; ]

[this_chair]

Please do. I want to help you if I can.

[labelism]

Oh~ The masochist of a loser crying his eyes out just a couple days back? I've seen him!

[mobilize]

[ wow, of course this dude is the first to mention having seen her friend :| ]

Don't be rude. Not now.

geh, i did. can we just assume his reply is... FORWARD DATED PLENTY?

[labelism]

[yep.]

I'll do what I want, human toilet!

[video]

[holmes_fanatic]

[Assuming that this takes place before Bolin's forward-dated network post ...]

Ah -- Mako-san and Bolin-san. I'll look out for them! Ne, can you tell me something about them?

[video]

[mobilize]

[ you would be correct! ]

Well, it's been confirmed that Mako... is no longer here. [ she sighs, her face twisting up a bit. ] But I can tell you about Bolin.

He's about this tall -- [ she stands up from her seat on her bed, raising one arm up so he can see the comparison. ] -- and he's very stocky. Dark hair, green eyes, very thick eyebrows. He usually has a fire ferret with him. It's reddish-brown.

Thank you so much.

[video]

[holmes_fanatic]

Ah ... I'm sorry to hear that.

Oh! The guy with the ferret! I've seen him over the network before ... I'll definitely recognise him if I see him.

[considerate]

[well one of those names mean something..!]

Mako? Is he not answering his bracelet?

video;

[mobilize]

No. I've tried every day, but I couldn't reach him.

It's been confirmed that he's been sent back home, though.

video;

[considerate]

I'm sorry to hear that.. He was a good guy. Not sure if this will be a relief or not, but chances are he might be back. Soon, if not eventually.

[whatagoodgirl]

[A small, very exhasuted-looking girl appears on the feed, blinking in confusion.]

I've never met you before.

video

[mobilize]

[ lol damn her mako for not having a last name. ]

...I'm sorry, I meant my friend from home. I didn't realize there would be another Mako here, but it isn't surprising.

My name is Asami.

video

[whatagoodgirl]

Oh - oh gosh, sorry, I should've realized. I'm sorry, I'm just kind of tired right now.

It's nice to meet you, Asami. I'm Mako Nakarai, but I mostly go by Nakama.

[ video ]

[paysdamages]

I'm sorry, I don't think I've met either of them, so I can't say for sure if I've seen them at all.

[ Kotetsu frowns a little and taps his chin. ]

Have you checked the contact list? If they are there, they might have lost their bracelets and gone native ... l-like Bunny did...

[ He seems to wince at that, a sad expression appearing on his face, before shaking his head and quickly regaining his composure. ]

I can help keep a look out for them, though. What do they look like?

[ video ]

[mobilize]

[ asami nods, but she barely succeeds at masking her pained expression. ] It didn't even occur to me to check the contact list right away. This place probably updates the list frequently, huh?

[ her eyes soften as she notices the look on his face. ] I checked the list now, though, and one of my friends has been sent home. The other is still here, but I can't find him at all...

I hope he hasn't lost his bracelet. His name is Bolin, and he's pretty stocky, with dark hair, green eyes, and very thick eyebrows. He also should be carrying around a fire ferret with him.

[ in her stress, she momentarily forgets that she should probably explain what a fire ferret is. lol common knowledge in her world. ]

[ video ]

[paysdamages]

He might have lost his bracelet, which means he's wandering around the city as one of the natives. He won't respond if you try to get a hold of him, I'm afraid ... You'll have to wait until his bracelet is restored to him.

I'll look out for him, though. I know how hard it is to lose a friend. [ Gives her a small, reassuring smile, though it looks a little pained. ]

... Uh, what exactly is a "Fire Ferret", though?

[ ᴠıᴅᴇᴏ ]

[corona]

[ Mako and Bolin?

Oh for fuck's sake. ]

You're from their world?

[ ᴠıᴅᴇᴏ ]

[mobilize]

[ oh, hey, it's that girl with the really long hair several weeks back. only her hair looks lovely and combed, unlike the first time asami saw her (when diva was in her body). ]

Yes, I am. Have you seen Bolin?

[glistens]

I haven't. [ And she hadn't thought to check the name registry because - she'd gotten so used to Mako being around somewhere it seemed silly to think...

Well she won't make that mistake again. ]

I'm... sorry— Were you... a sister?
